Arkansas school finance policy debate in the Gazette
A reader discusses Arkansas Gazette editorials on funding for schools and a proposed formula by the Arkansas Legislative Council to base aid on local effort. The piece cites Kentucky’s plan, notes Hope district state aid at 75 percent, recalls past local funding, and argues for shared responsibility with local taxes while criticizing state budget impact and population declines in Hempstead County.

National output nears goal set by President Truman
The Commerce Department reports that total output of goods and services in the nation reached a $284.3 billion annual rate in the third quarter, about five percent short of Truman's 1955 goal of $300 billion. Growth stems from record consumer spending, with a $198.4 billion annual rate in retail. Price increases account for a large portion of the gain. President Truman had set a five year target of $300 billion in goods and services measured by January prices.
